republicans were ready to shut down the government over spending cut demands. and the white house, what we now see there is a report out that jack liu found ways to make phantom cuts, to protect the poor, and republicans didn't really look into it and accepted it. and said now we got our spending c cuts. you're saying now, the debt ceiling showdown, you had a lot of republicans, leadership particularly who walked into this mess where they actually had their rank and file to do a debt default. they needed some way, any way out of it. so what the white house, the democrats put in front of them was the committee, the sequester, they were so happy to have any kind of lifeline, and john boehner comes out, pretends it is a victory, 98%, keeping the members in line. now here it is, a ticking time bomb for republicans, a year, year and a half, they're realizing, wait a minute, we don't have much leverage with the sequester after all. >> but the thing is, boehner did get 98% of what he wanted if you believe that he really wants spending cuts. >> right, exactly, but he d

if funding the government was actually up to republicans? according to their theory, since all taxes are bad, a republican congress and republican president should cut taxes down to zero. >> it's a very simple equation. tax increases destroy jobs. >> since taxes destroy jobs, the only logical tax rate for the republican party in washington to support would be zero. on everything. personal income, capital gains, gasoline, every single federal tax rate should be zero. that is the logic of the republican position. in the world in which this guy is considered the leadi ining intellectual of the anti-tax movement, if washington had no democrats, taxes could never go up. they could only go down and they'd eventually go to zero or just low enough to pay for the defense department and nothing else. right? i mean, that's 21st century republicanism. or is it? if you want to see a world with no democrats, there's no better place to go than wyoming. the state's entire congressional delegation is republican. that's two senators and only one congressman.
